My trip to Singapore came with 2 main itinerary; Sup Tulang Merah (Red Bone Mutton soup) & Universal Studios.
As expected,I was looking forward to the notoriously red concoction more than Universal Studios; having read of it some while back & thus was glad to finally be able to try it myself.
But of course, as you can read about my experience in Universal Studios (post HERE & HERE ) , I did actually had fun 
This place is near Arab St and is mere minutes away from Orchard Road.
Quite accessible really, & it boasts of clientele such as Malaysian artists from the likes of Amy Search to Erra Fazira.
Ma Deen Biasa Pte Ltd is alike any typical mamak restaurant; with the only exception being the sup tulang merah, it’s signature dish; legendary for its crimson hue.
The menu:
Our order for 1 pax.
A basket of thickly sliced baguette-like bread came with each order, & was perfect to mop up the delicious sweet gravy; which though was deceivingly bloody, had just the barest tinge of spicyness.
There is not much meat per se on each chunk of bone, and just like the sup kambing (mutton soup) at mamak restaurants, the main point is to enjoy the gravy, together with some bits of meat & the MARROW.
Not every bone came with marrow within, but I hit jackpot with this one! Wohooo!
I know it may look disgusting, but it tasted amazing. It has the appearance of pure gelatinous fat, but it’s firmer, ‘slimy‘, & sweet.
The taste of bone marrow is as much about the texture as the flavour. The texture is unctuous, almost similar to a soft scrambled egg with the melt in the mouth feel that you get from foie gras.
Oh dear, I have been gushing about the marrow, but yea, the meat itself is tender and flavoursome too. 
I was supposed to order the mee (noodles) which is said to be reddish as well. Well, being a sucker for bread I had this instead.
Wrong choice. 
Total bill: SGD 18.00 with drinks.
We were the scavengers..

Belanga Cafe @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Launch of Belanga’s Minum Petang Sensation
I once reviewed the Nasi Tumpang from Belanga HERE against the one at Warung, Mid Valley and apparently Belanga’s version was the more authentic version.
Anyhow, I tried their Nasi Dagang, Nasi roti jala, ayam percik as well during the previous session and thought the food was ok.
This round, Belanga has rebranded itself as a lifestyle cafe and it’s now geared towards being a coffee hub with home- styled Malay delicacies as it’s main snacks.
While the coffee was really aromatic and smooth, thanks to Belanga’s coffee barista from Australia, the food didn’t impress that much.
Below:
Cafe Latte, Cappucino, Ristretto, Long Black, Flat White and more.
But the black pepper keropok lekor was a pretty good variation from the original. Crisp and fishy enough!
Below:
Some of the food that was highlighted during the food gathering are “Anak Dara Dua Sebilik, Satar, Pulut Panggang, Sardine Rollen, Samosa, Tahi Itik, Kueh Akok, Keropok Lekor and Royal Murtabak”.
